Old Man

In my opinion Christensen was done dirty by Lucas.  Even Portman and MacGregor did poorly in that trilogy; Christensen didn't stand a chance.  I mean look at the script he was given.  "I hate sand."  DiCaprio couldn't have pulled that off.

1/3 of the jurors already selected today.  At this rate the trial might get fully underway by Monday.
 
Also, I'm getting tired of corporate media headlines burying the lede.  This isn't a "hush money" trial, it's a campaign finance violation trial.  Paying off your porn star is not a crime, but laundering the payments in violation of campaign finance law, and thereby cheating in the election, is a felony.

"Are all your jokes this bad?"
 
"Well, it's not unusual."

You're right, of course.  AFAIC the only actually good films are IV, VI, and maybe III.  Opinions vary, but suffice to say that my kids have no idea what the fuss is about when it comes to Star Wars.

This.  To be fair, if it was my $100M, I'd be less inclined to take risks too.
 
That said, the current Planet of the Apes franchise has been massively underrated.  Rise, in particular, had no business being as good as it was.  Idk how the upcoming fourth installment will be without Andy Serkis Caesar, though.

Is that the one right after lunch?  Been there done that.

I fully expect a significant drawdown in movie budgets in the very near future.  First of all you have movies like Indiana Jones and the Wheel of Time that cost 1/3 of a billion dollars--there aren't enough moviegoers in the universe to make that much money back.  Second, the streaming services have achieved saturation so they'll go straight into cost cutting/ens***tification mode.  Third, you have movies like Godzilla Minus One proving you can make an effects-laden film for 1/5 of the cost using, like, brains. 
 
But it remains to be seen whether Hollywood has learned to value good scriptwriting.

Just need to get that down to zero by, like, 2010.

Also proofread them before handing them out to the students.  The most notable example I lived through was the electromagnetism class where the professor would work out the answers while we took the exam.  On one exam, fifteen minutes in, he goes, "Is anyone else having trouble with question three?"  To which the entire class* responded with a resounding and irritated "YES!!"
 
 
* I think there were eight of us.  Might have been ten. 

"Young Crippling Depression"
"Young Lower Back Pain"
